BDNF was upregulated and inversely correlated with miR-613 in GC tissues. (A) BDNF mRNA levels were measured in 38 pairs of GC tissues and ANT using reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (B) Correlation of miR-613 and BDNF levels in human GC tissues was explored by Pearson correlation analysis (n=38). **P<0.01. ANT, adjacent noncancerous tissues; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; GC, gastric cancer; miR, microRNA.
